"...Passengers on a Canadian plane had an unsettling in-flight experience after the pilot found himself locked out of the cockpit after a trip to the toilet.
Instead of slipping back inside, the Air Canada Jazz pilot was seen banging on the door and talking to his first officer on an internal phone.
Crew members were forced to take the door off its hinges to let him back in. .."
if you are flying air canada , don't allow the pilot to go to the bathroom ; he may have to use the controls in the bathroom for landing the plane
.
i can testify that the bathrooms on those commuter planes are just atrocious ; an outhouse would be an improvement !
we were flying from toronto to kingston and the sliding door kept opening up ... i called the flight attentand , "just jam your foot against the door and it'll stay closed " , he said . we decided to cross our legs for the duration .

...THE PILOT IS IN THE BATHROOM...
